  HAMMERED GOLD COIN HEAVY, BUT NOT THAT HEAVY
  

  Regarding last week's quote from a newspaper article about the
  auction of the heaviest hammered British gold coin, Martin Purdy
  writes: "That should be ?20 - it certainly doesn't weigh 20 lbs!
  And even at ?20 Scots, it was only worth about ?1 13s 4d in
  English currency at the time. Still a lovely coin, though."
  

  [The article referred to the coin as "The 20lb gold piece".
  Martin wrote to The Scotsman, and they replied: "You are dead
  right. We have carried an apology." -Editor]
